Installing a 220V Outlet… Because Your Garage Deserves More!
What happens here
Repeat the wire stripping and connection process for the 50 Amp double-pole circuit breaker. Ensure the black and re-marked white wires are tightly twisted and securely fastened under the terminal screws on the breaker. Connect the bare copper ground wire to an available screw on the ground bar. Remember that for 220V circuits, only two hot wires and a ground are used; there is no neutral wire.
Goal: Connect the 10 gauge wire to the 50 Amp circuit breaker and ground bar.
